A Stranger I Used To Know

I sit there in that chair,
Thinking of the memories we share,
The thoughts of you will stay,
With me everyday.

I don't try to forget you,
I won't try to forget you,
But I don't want to think about you,
Everyday of every year of my life,
So yeah it's true,
I really fucking miss you.

I sit there in the classroom with the teachers boring me to death,
I start thinking of all my wrongs and everything that I regret,
I know I have a lot it's true,
One of them was letting go of you.

I want to be brave I want to be strong,
But even the idea of that is wrong,
I'm just someone who's trying to move on,
And I try so hard yet I'm awake till dawn,
Think of you.

Here I am just waiting for the old man to hurry up,
He took so long that I go to fill another cup,
He finally finishes with the thanking of everyone,
But to you I was more than just anyone,
Everyone around me was shedding all the tears they had,

But I don't.
I stand there and watch,
As they lower you into the ground,
And I wave goodbye to you and all our memories.
